Bats Crack As Softball Hits Campus In Big Way With the first crack of the bat and the whiz of curving leather, the students on the campus became ball conscious and proceeded to form soft ball teams from the various classes, organizations, and what-nots. During the past two weeks six teams have been organized and the captains have gone ahead and planned games for the future. Such an interest has been manifested that the whole thing has turned into a fad. In fact, it's quite the vogue to play soft ball these days. If you're not a member of one team or the other, you just don't rate, that's all. About three afternoons a week, you can see a good game on the practice field back in the stadium. Of course, the boys aren't what you might call big-leaguers but they're doing pretty well for amateurs. The first ones to start the movement were the boys from the science department. Ganged around some complicated instruments in the physics lab one afternoon, they all got stuck on a hard problem and as a solution to the situation chey went out and played a game of soft ball over In the park.
